The general idea is this:  Genma had been cursed with the panda form long
ago, Soun knew about it.  It is a Saotome tradition to go to Jusenkyo on
their 16th birthday and perform some training excersise over and over
until they fall in a spring.  Ranma was lucky/unfortunate enough to get
the girl-spring.

This would require a LOT of explaination to make it viable.  It's not
called a 'curse' for no reason!

I don't think so. It's TRADITION! People do some straaaaange shit in the
name of tradition.

If you don't think people do unpleasant things in the name of tradition,
explain circumcision.

Maybe it has some sort of Zen thing to it. :)

Other twists: Ranma doesn't want to be cured, but is more than willing to
help the others be cured.  Ranma prefers his girl form to his male one,
since it's much faster and more graceful.  He(she?) still acts as a guy,
and likes girls, but actually tends to spend more time female than male.

Ranma's a lesbian?

Reminds me of a UY crack by one of Lum's Stormtroopers in Kurama's first
appearance: "Huh. Never figured Ataru for a lesbian!"

Which poses an interesting question. _Can_ a guy be a lesbian? :)

Story twists: Akane discovers Ryouga is P-chan, and helps him keep it from
Ranma.  Shampoo wants to marry Ranma, but so does Mousse!
(these are ideas only)

This is just sick.  Both of them.  Do it. *evil grin*

This is true. You must.
